The mimic battle at Newport between
the United States cruiser Atlanta and a
fiotilla of torpedo boats was an interest
ing test of the capacity Of attack and
defense in modern naval warfare.
The Atlanta defended herself with an
outwork of hswsers and lines, and with
picket boats armed with contrysnces To-
entangle and disable the attacking boats.
while she turned her electric search
lights" on the enemy so that her heavy
ordnance and gatling guns could make
sure work Of the boats
After an ample and exhaustive expert.
ment the umpires decided that the Atlanta
had demonstrated the problem of success
full defense on the part OF such a vessel
against feet oftorpedo boats. The ques-
ton of the use of torpedoes, therefore, is
projected into the most advanced idea now
as proposed by the United States when
she determined on using the dynamite
guns. Whatever the advantages, num-
bers, defensive, or offensive equipment of
the beligerants, that dynamite gun will
settle !, on the aide tina, uses 1t best.

with good results. The progress made
by the railroad companies has been very
slow
In almost all the States this particular
burning question Of Reform awaits legis-
latiye action and it has been suggested
that as Congress can create a railway
commission it might also in the course OF
Interstate Commerce see that there is a
rational degree Of safety provided for
travellers. To protect them under the
civil rights bin and from over charges is
good, but to save them from fire would
be equally commendable.

At the meeting OF the Bar Association
of New York. Mr. Binsse offered reso.
luton in which the press Of the city was
sharply arraigned. Some of the news
papers were accused of insinuating that il
was Doodle that had secured the stsy in
proceedings against Jacob Sharp. Mr.
Binsse considered it highly improper
that 1.-The undue pressure of an unin-
formed, unealightened, and excited pub.
lie opinion should be brought to bear
upon the Judges and tribunals in theil
consideration Of purely sbstrac; lega
questions as to the rights Of accused
persons under the law
The resolution was tabled by a ma
iority of only four Nevertheless Mr.

The knights of Labor Convention
memorializes Congress to put the telc-

one of the reasons assigned in the pro-
posed measure is good, but the result can
be accomplished without the Govern
ments absolute control of the service
All that is necessary, and what should
have been done long ago, is to require a
uniform rate for the whole country. o
This has been proved possible in En-
gland, and experienced telegraph men
have long ago declared it practicable
here. II is a reform urgently required
for the public convenience; but it is of
special importance to the press
Applying the principle that worked with
the postal service il seems that uniform
rate of telegraphing would not only
greatly benefit the people, but il would
increase the profits of the telegraph
companies. Among other advantages il
would give the newspaper readers greater
facilities

The frequency of accidents occurring
through horses becoming frightened by
the escaping steam Of locomotives is at.
tracing good deal of attention, and in
some states the matter has been taken mp
by the railroad commissions. There is a
very simple device on the Cincinnati,
indianapolis, St. Louis and Chicago road
which prevents all trouble from this
source. II is called a blowback and all
waste steam Is carried back inlo the tank.
There il no noise from escaping steam

HOW EASY ErIS.

How easy It is to spoil day
The thoughtless words OF cherished
friends,
The selfish act Of n child ut play,
The strength Of will that win not bend,
The slight OF comrade, the scorn of foe,
The smile that is full OF bitter things
They all can tarnish its golden glow
And take the grace from It's airy wings.
How easy II is to spoil day
BY the force Of thought we did not
check
Little by little we mould the clay,
And little flaws may the vessel wreck.
The careless waste of n white.winged hour,
That held the blessings we long had
sought,
The sudden loss OF wealth or power
Aud 10 the day Is with III inwr0ught.
How easy II is to spoil life
Aud many are spoiled ere well begun
In some life darkened by sin and strife,
o. downward course OF cherished one,
By toll that robs the form of Its grace
And undermines till health glves way;
BY the peevish temper, the frowniug face,
The hopes that go, and the cares that stay.
A day is too long to be spent In vain;
Some good should come as the hours 90
by
Some tangled maze may be made more
plain,
Some lowered glance may be raised on
high,
And life is too short TO spoil like this,
II only O prelude II may be sweet;
Let us bind together Its thread Of bliss
And nourish the flowers around our feet.
